A team captain in 2008-09 and 2009-10, Vallimont placed second at the 2010 NCAA Division I Championships at 165 pounds and finishing the season with a 30-9 mark.

2012-13 OUTLOOK

oming off a record-setting season for a first-year wrestling coach in school history, Hofstra Head Wrestling Coach Rob Anspach will be looking for an encore performance from his Pride grapplers in 2012-13. Anspach, a long-time assistant under both Tom Ryan and Tom Shifflet, took the reins of the Hofstra program following the 2010-11 season. In his first season in charge, the Pride recorded a 12-3 dual match record, a 5-1 mark in the Colonial Athletic Association, Hofstra’s second consecutive CAA title and the 11th conference title in the past 12 years and a 23rd-place finish with two All-Americans at the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships in St. Louis. Anspach’s .800 winning percentage was the best by a first-year coach in program history. He was also the first new coach in Pride wrestling history to win his first 10 dual matches. But the new season brings new challenges and Anspach and the Pride will be faced with many as Hofstra will face, arguably, the most difficult schedule in program history facing such notable national powers like Minnesota, Iowa, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Cornell, Wisconsin, Lehigh, the CAA Duals, and appearances in the Ken Kraft Midlands Championships in December and the National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) National Duals at Cornell in February.

125 The 125-pound weight class is one of those weight classes that is short on depth but deep in talent with the return of All-American, senior Steve Bonanno (Wantagh, NY). The three-time NCAA qualifier had a career-best season as a junior, posting a 31-9 record including 14-1 in duals and 6-0 in conference matches. He captured his first CAA title last season after two previous trips to the title match and then went on to place eighth in the NCAA Championships to earn All-American honors. Brilliant both on the mat and off, Bonanno was also named the CAA Wrestling Scholar-Athlete of the Year, named to the Capital OneCoSIDA Academic All-American At-Large second team, and the NWCA All-Academic team. Bonanno is looked upon as a legitimate national title contender as his preseason rankings as high as fourth will attest. “If all goes as we expect, we sincerely believe that Steve Bonanno could finish in the top two in the country,” Anspach says.

jamie franco

Anspach and staff will be armed with the biggest roster in recent years although a good many are young and inexperienced on the Division I level. Included in that roster are 15 returnees and eight starters. Among the returning starters are two returning All-Americans in senior Steve Bonanno at 125 and senior Justin Accordino at 149. Bonanno is one of two CAA champions returning from 2012 along with junior Luke Vaith at 141 while senior Paul Snyder, who was a conference champion in 2011, gives the Pride three CAA champions on the roster. While the roster is large, there will be several weight classes that are deep in numbers but short on experience with many expected to red-shirt. Other weight classes are short on depth but sometimes deep in talent. “Our biggest hope this season is that we don’t get hit by the injury bug,” Anspach says. “But if we do the guys understand that this is a team sport and they may have to move up or down a weight to help make us the best possible team we can be.”

133 Returning to a starting role at 133-pounds this season is junior Jamie Franco (Monroe, NY), who also had a career-best season a year ago. He posted a 21-13 record, advanced to the CAA finals for the first time and earned his first bid to the NCAA Championships. Franco’s hard-work last season and in the preseason this year has earned him a top 20 ranking in some of the preseason polls. “Jamie made a huge jump on the mat from his freshman to sophomore seasons,” Anspach says. “He gained a lot of valuable experience and we expect him to build upon that success this season.” He will be backed-up by red-shirt freshman Joey Gosinski (Bartlett, IL), who was a two-time Illinois State High School Champion at Glenbard North High School. Gosinski was 5-5 in three open tournaments to get his feet wet in college wrestling last year. The 133-pound weight class is a doublyimportant weight class in 2012-13 as it will also supply a back-up at 125 if needed. “Joey had some success last season and we think, if anything happens to Jamie (Franco), he is more than capable of stepping in and doing some pretty big things for the program,” Anspach commented.

back and recorded a career-best season last year, posting a 26-14 record with a 12-3 mark in duals and a 5-1 record in the CAA. He was a first-time conference finalist and earned his second NCAA Championship bid. He didn’t disappoint at nationals, defeating the 12th-seed and the fifth-seed before losing to three top-10 seeds to place sixth and earn All-American honors. “We are looking for Justin to continue his late season run from a year ago that led him to the All-American podium,” Anspach said.

141 The 141-pound weight class is one of five divisions with three or wrestlers competing. But this class is led by returning starter, junior Luke Vaith (Hastings, MN), whose star continues to rise and shine brightly. Another one of the Pride wrestlers to record a career-best season in 2011-12, Vaith recorded a 23-10 record including a 12-3 mark in duals and a 5-1 record in the CAA. He captured his first conference title and earned his first NCAA Championship bid. His work the past two seasons has him destined to get to the All-American podium in the near future. “We are looking for Luke to make a statement nationally and he is certainly capable to do that,” Anspach said. Backing up the durable and aggressive Vaith is junior Dan Manley (Dobbs Ferry, NY). The red-shirt junior was 2-5 in three open tournaments last season after posting a 5-6 mark in 2010-11. A newcomer to keep an eye on in the future is freshman Jamel Hudson (Bay Shore, NY). While it is possible that he will be redshirted this season, this 2012 New York State champion and New York Wrestler of the Year out of St. Anthony’s High School on Long Island will be a force to reckon with in the future. “Jamel is a dynamic wrestler with tons of potential with a great upside.” Anspach stated. Freshman Alex Mirante (Moraga, CA), another newcomer likely to be redshirted, posted a 63-32 record at Campolindo High School.

While Accordino’s talent and heart have never been in question his knees are which leaves five other grapplers backing him up or ready to move to another weight class. Leading the pack is senior Matt Spataro (Garfield, NJ) who was 3-3 last season after a 7-16 campaign at three weight classes two years ago. Red-shirt sophomore Cody Ruggirello (Walden, NY) has been bitten by the injury bug his first two seasons and has wrestled in just six matches during that time. But the five-time New York State High School Championship place-winner, 2007 state champion and brother of Pride great Lou Ruggirello, is talented and appears ready for the 2012-13 season. “Cody is finally healthy after two seasons battling an injury. We look forward to seeing him and Matt out on the mat this season giving us some quality matches,” Anspach says.

justin accordino

Two newcomers will also be looking to gain experience in this weight class in freshmen Jahlani Callender (North Lauderdale, FL), a threetime Florida State place-winner at Calvary Christian Academy, and Cory Goshkagarian (Somerset, NJ), a regional title-winner and two-time district champion at Franklin High School.

157 The 157-pound weight class returns another starter in senior Tyler Banks (Griswold, CT). Banks, who has wrestled in 96 matches during his Hofstra career, posted a 12-13 mark at 157 pounds as a junior after recording a 21-16 mark at three weight classes as a sophomore including an 18-15 slate at 157. “Tyler continues to get better every year,” Anspach

149 If ever Hofstra should have won a national Comeback Wrestler of the Year Award it should have happened last season for Justin Accordino (Wilkes-Barre, PA). The returning All-American and starter was granted a sixth year of eligibility after missing most if not all of the 2009-10 and 2010-11 seasons with knee injuries. Accordino battled

2012-13 OUTLOOK said. “We expect him to make that jump to a consistent wrestler who can contend for a conference title.” Four newcomers, including one junior, will be backing up Banks led by freshman Jay Lysne (Lakeview, OR), a four-time Oregon State High School place-winner including state champion as a junior out of Lakeview High School. Lysne posted a 149-18 mark in high school. Also looking to crack the line-up is junior Russ Benner (Roselle Park, NJ), a transfer who was 11-9 at Appalachian State last season and was a twotime county champ and placed fifth in New Jersey while at Roselle Park High School. Three other freshmen, Michael Caputo (Stony Point, NY), a three-time county champion with a school record 181 victories and a fourth-place finish in the New York State Championship while at North Rockland High School, Dalton Ahern (Old Saybrook, CT), a three-time Connecticut State finalist and two time State champion who posted a 153-12 record at Old Saybrook High School, and Sam Schwartzapfel (Smithtown, NY), an all-county wrestler from Hauppauge High School, will be waiting in the wings.

165 Following the graduation of two-time CAA champion, four-time NCAA qualifier and 2011 All-American, P.J. Gillespie, the 165-pound weight class is one of those divisions with numbers but not a great deal of college experience. Red-shirt sophomore Nick Terdick (East Northport, NY) appears to be the front-runner in this class. He posted a 3-3 record at 157 in two open tournaments last year after recording a 13-11 mark in the same class in 2010-11. “We expect big things from Nick this season,” Anspach said. “He has a lot of talent and is very quick. He just needs to be more consistent in his wrestling.” Two freshmen will be pushing Terdick in 2012-13 in freshmen Doug Rogers (Wantagh, NY) and Frank Affronti (Ontario, NY). Rogers was a conference champion and all-county selection at Wantagh High School while Affronti was a third-place finisher at the New York State Championships in 2012 while at Wayne Central High School.

174 The Hofstra 174-pound weight class returns its starter in 2012-13 in sophomore Jermaine John (Brooklyn, NY). John was thrust into the starting line-up after the graduation of Ryan Patrovich and posted a 9-17 record as a freshman. The former three-time All-Nassau County selection and All-New York State pick, is better prepared for the battles ahead this season. “Jermaine gained valuable experience as a freshman starter,” Anspach commented. “We look for him to continue to improve and become more consistent this season.”

but very few in college circles. He placed second at the 2010 World University Championships at 84kg and finished third in the Cup of the Ukraine Senior Championships. Luzhnyy also took home the gold at the Ukrainian Nationals in 2010. “Taras brings a wealth of international experience and a lot of success,” Anspach says. “He is very talented on his feet and is a tireless worker. I expect good things from him by the end of the season.”

197 The 197-pound starter from a year ago returns in 2012-13 in junior Tim Murphy (Nazareth, PA). The two-year Hofstra letterman, who came to Long Island after one year at Edinboro University, posted a 10-22 record as a red-shirt sophomore. “Tim gained a lot of experience and helped us out a lot last year,” Anspach commented. “He worked very hard over the summer and has made some big improvements in his wrestling coming into the season.” He will be pushed by freshman Victor Pozsonyi (Roselle Park, NJ), a county, district and regional champion who placed third in the New Jersey State High School Championships last spring. Pozsonyi ended his scholastic career at Roselle Park High School with three district titles, two county and regional crowns and a two-time State place-winner. “Victor is strong and a hard-worker in great shape,” Anspach said. “We expect him to get a lot of experience this season.”

285 Senior Paul Snyder (Greensburg, PA) is the Pride’s eighth and final starter who is returning to the line-up in 2012-13. A CAA champion and NCAA qualifier as a sophomore when he posted a 25-16 record, he was 19-13 as a junior a year ago. The durable Snyder, who is expected to start for the fourth consecutive season, brings a wealth of experience to the weight class as he has wrestled in 110 matches over his three years in a Pride singlet. “We think Paul can be the top wrestler in the CAA this season,” Anspach said. “He too put in a great summer and worked real hard. We are looking for him to close out his career with a conference title and do something at nationals.” Red-shirt sophomore Zeal McGrew (Glenville, NY) and freshman Jimmy Trull (Bellevue, WA) will be challenging Snyder. McGrew, a twotime New York State High School Championship place winner, posted a 3-6 record last season after a 20-9 mark in six open tournaments as a redshirt freshman in 2010-11. Trull, a USA Wrestling Future Olympian’s Top 25 selection in 2011 with a wealth of experience in freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling, posted a school record 109 victories and was the first wrestler at Bellevue High School to be a three-time place winner at the Washington State High School Championships.

Pushing John will be a pair of freshmen, David Heitman (Mahwah, NJ) and Dan Spurgeon (North Massapequa, NY). Heitman, a red-shirt freshman who posted a 98-12 record at Mahwah High School, joined the Pride in the second semester after transferring from Roger Williams University. Spurgeon was a two-time Nassau County finalist and 2012 New York State High School champion at 170 pounds out of Plainedge High School.

184 Like at 165 pounds, the graduation of two-time CAA champion and three-time NCAA qualifier Ben Clymer has left a void at 184 pounds for the Pride. But senior Taras Luzhnyy (Kiev, Ukraine) is expected to fill the void in 2012-13. Luzhnyy, who attended the National University of the Ukraine, has impressive international freestyle credentials

HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

jeffrey a. Hathaway

vice president and director of Athletics

ofstra University President Stuart Rabinowitz announced on May 15, 2012, that the University had hired Jeffrey A. Hathaway, formerly the director of athletics for the University of Connecticut and the outgoing chairman of the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee, as Hofstra University’s new vice president and director of athletics. “In collegiate athletics, the name Jeff Hathaway means success on any number of levels: in the classroom, on the playing field, in the boardroom, with donors and the media. Most importantly, Jeff ’s focus on excellence, ethics, leadership and academics will allow the Hofstra Pride athletics program to move to the next level of excellence,” said Rabinowitz. “His tenure at the University of Connecticut was one of unprecedented growth, and under his leadership, we look forward to ushering in a new era of Hofstra Pride athletic success.” “I am excited to join the Hofstra University community and to have the opportunity to provide leadership and serve the studentathletes, coaches and staff in this outstanding athletics program,” commented Hathaway. “I particularly would like to thank President Stuart Rabinowitz for allowing me to become part of the Hofstra University family. Throughout my career I have been part of programs that have competed against Hofstra and I have seen firsthand the success the Pride has had over the years. My primary focus will be on the academic achievement of our studentathletes and providing them the opportunity to participate and achieve in their academic and athletic endeavors as we prepare them for their lives after graduation from Hofstra.” Hathaway guided the University of Connecticut (UConn) Division of Athletics through an unprecedented period of academic and athletic achievement during his eight years as director

of athletics from 2003 to 2011. At the same time, he became an influential leader for college athletics on both the national and conference level. Hathaway played a vital role in UConn’s success story for nearly 20 years as he was the executive associate director of athletics at the school from 1990 to 2001. In his two years away from the Storrs campus, Hathaway enjoyed a successful tenure as the director of athletics at Colorado State University from 2001 to 2003. During Hathaway’s career, he has always made the academic success of student-athletes a top priority. In the classroom, more than 50% of UConn’s 650 student-athletes achieved a 3.0 “B-or better” semester grade point average during the spring and/or fall semesters of the 2010 calendar year, including 16 who earned a perfect 4.0 grade point average. In addition, the Division of Athletics consistently maintained a 99 percent academic retention rate among its student-athletes. The University of Connecticut was saluted for its community service efforts by the National Consortium for Academics and Sports (NCAS) three times under Hathaway’s watch for its community service efforts. UConn was also honored by the NCAS in 2006 and 2007 for its efforts to assist former student-athletes in earning their college degree. Hathaway’s leadership positions have extended beyond the campus. He recently completed a five-year term as a member of the prestigious NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee, representing the BIG EAST Conference, serving as chair in 2011-12. As a member of the 10-person committee, Hathaway took part in the selection and administration of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship and the administration of the CBS/Turner television contract.

During his tenure at both Colorado State and UConn, he was a member of the NCAA Division I Championships/Competition Cabinet. On the conference level, Hathaway was the chair of the BIG EAST Athletic Directors Executive Committee through November of 2009. He is also past chairman of the BIG EAST Championship and Competition Committee as well as the league’s Finance Committee, and also served on the Television Committee. Hathaway is a past member of the Division I-A Athletic Directors Association Board of Trustees and the Executive Committee of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). In 2004 The Sporting News named Hathaway to its “Power 100 List” - comprised of the 100 most powerful people in sports. During his time at the University of Connecticut, private fundraising averaged more than $13 million a year. Hathaway was also responsible negotiating several key revenue and partnership agreements, securing major gifts, and guiding the building of two LEED certified athletic facilities, UConn’s first, which received recognition from the University and from the Connecticut Real Estate Exchange. Hathaway led a head coaching staff that is one of the most experienced in the country. At the conclusion of Hathaway’s tenure, UConn had 12 head coaches that had been in their current position 10 or more years as of the 2010-11 academic year. In Hathaway’s final year with UConn, the Huskies experienced great athletic success. The men’s basketball team won its third NCAA Division I Championship while the football team played in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. In addition, the women’s basketball team played in the NCAA Final Four for the fourth consecutive season and set a college basketball record for most consecutive wins with 90. The UConn baseball team made history with its first-ever appearance in NCAA Super Regional play. The men’s soccer, women’s soccer and field hockey teams participated in NCAA tournaments while representatives from men’s and women’s track and field and women’s diving also took part in NCAA action. Hathaway originally came to Connecticut in November of 1990 as senior associate athletic director. In that role, he oversaw the day-today operations of the Division of Athletics and served as a program administrator for several sports. During Hathaway’s tenure at Colorado State, he oversaw a 15-sport program – nine women’s teams and six men’s. Hathaway was an extremely successful fundraiser during his time in Fort Collins. The school drew national

attention for a $15.2 million gift for football stadium renovations and expansion. Prior to joining UConn, Hathaway served in a number of capacities at his alma mater, the University of Maryland, from 1982 to 1990, including assistant athletics director for marketing and communications, acting assistant athletics director for business affairs, athletics business manager and men’s basketball trainer. Hathaway earned his degree in athletic administration from Maryland in 1981. He later received a Master’s Degree in general administration from Maryland and is currently continuing work on a PhD in the Department of Educational Leadership at the University of Connecticut. Hathaway and his wife, Paula, have two children – Meghan (21) and Michael (17).

WRESTLING FACILITIES

Mack Sports Complex Home of Hofstra Wrestling

n January 2, 2000 the Hofstra Wrestling program moved into the 5,023-seat Hofstra Arena, which was renamed the David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition complex in 2006.

Construction of the $15 million, 93,000 square-foot facility began in the fall of 1998 and was completed in December 1999. The Complex also houses the Hofstra Basketball teams, and hosts commencements, exhibitions, trade shows, concerts and other special events. “Mr. Mack has been extremely generous to Hofstra over the years, and the David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex will serve as just the latest reminder on our campus of that generosity,” said Hofstra University President Stuart Rabinowitz, referring to the David S. and Sondra Mack Student Center and Mack Hall, which houses the University Club.

In October 2012 the debate between President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney was held in the Mack Sorts Complex, marking the second presidential debate held in the building. In October 2008 the Mack Sports Complex hosted the third and final debate between presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain. The Mack Sports Complex has also hosted performances by NBC Late Night talk show host and comedian Jimmy Fallon, comedian Louis C.K., musical artist Justin Bieber, as well as the 2010 New York Gubernatorial Debate. The Mack Sports Complex includes full-chair back seating for spectators in an arena configuration. The air-conditioned facility is equipped with a state-of-the-art electronic scoreboard, men’s and women’s locker rooms, a media room, an athletic training room, a large weight room, dressing rooms for stage events, four concession stands, five ticket windows, six luxury boxes and offices for Hofstra’s athletic administration and basketball staffs.

THE COLONIAL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION

he Colonial Athletic Association has built a reputation as one of the nation’s top collegiate conferences both athletically and academically. The CAA encompasses five of the nation’s nine largest metropolitan areas with a geographic footprint that stretches from Boston to Atlanta. The conference has produced 16 national team champions in five different sports, 33 individual national champions, 12 national players of the year, 12 national coaches of the year and 12 Honda Award winners. Just as impressive, however, are the honors accumulated away from competition, which include five Rhodes Scholars and 22 NCAA post-graduate scholars. In 2011-12, more than 1,900 of the league’s 4,000 student-athletes received the Commissioner’s Academic Award after posting at least a 3.2 grade point average while lettering in a varsity sport. The conference had 19 teams in 13 different sports receive NCAA Public Recognition Awards based on the latest Academic Progress Report released in 2012. The landscape of the conference stretches along the majority of the East Coast, and includes six of the nation’s top 25 media markets – New York (1), Philadelphia (4), Boston (7), Atlanta (8), Washington, D.C. (9) and Baltimore (25). The number of television homes in the CAA market exceeds 20 million. The CAA conducts championships in 23 sports. Male athletes compete for championships in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field and wrestling. Female athletes battle for conference titles in basketball, cross country, field hockey, golf, lacrosse, rowing, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field and volleyball. In 2011-12, 24 teams earned NCAA Tournament berths and 51 student-athletes received All-America honors in 16 different sports. The conference has made its presence known nationally in men’s basketball with two teams – George Mason (2006) and VCU (2011) – advancing to the NCAA Final Four over the past six years. Three CAA teams earned NCAA Tournament berths for the first time in 2011 as conference champion Old Dominion was joined by VCU and George Mason. VCU knocked off USC, Georgetown, Purdue, Florida State and top-seeded Kansas, while Mason defeated Villanova. In 2006, George Mason captured the nation’s imagination by becoming the first mid-major program since 1979 to reach the Final Four, posting victories over Michigan State, North Carolina, Wichita State and Connecticut along the way. At least five CAA teams have reached postseason play for the past four years.

The CAA has also had great success in women’s basketball, with six teams making the postseason in 2011-12. Conference champion Delaware advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the first time and was ranked #7 in the final Associated Press Top 25 poll. James Madison beat two ACC and two Big East teams to reach the championship game of the WNIT. Drexel, Hofstra, UNCW and VCU joined the Dukes in the WNIT. Old Dominion, which won an NCAA-record 17 straight CAA titles from 1992-

2008, boasts three national championships (1979, 1980, 1985) and was national runner-up in 1997. The conference also excels in many other sports. CAA squads have combined to win 10 field hockey national titles since the championship began in 1981 and ODU reached the national semifinals in 2011. Four men’s soccer teams earned NCAA Tournament berths last season and James Madison became the seventh CAA team to reach the final 16 of the event in the past decade. Hofstra’s softball team won the Los Angeles Regional and became the first CAA squad to advance to the NCAA Super Regionals. At least two women’s soccer teams have reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament in three of the past five seasons. William & Mary’s men’s cross country squad has made the NCAA Championship in 12 of the past 13 years. In the pool, George Mason’s Ashley Danner finished second in the 100 breaststroke and fifth in the 200 breaststroke at the 2012 NCAA Championship and received All-America honors. Delaware and Towson have each reached the Final Four of the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship. On the track, Mason’s David Verburg placed fourth in the 400 meters at the NCAA Championship. The CAA has sent multiple teams to the NCAA Baseball Championship in nine of the last 15 years and has had at least 12 players selected in the eight of the last 10 Major League Baseball drafts. The conference also boasts numerous All-Americans in lacrosse, tennis, golf, women’s lacrosse and wrestling. CAA member institutions are committed to excellence in the classroom. The Colonial Academic Alliance was created in 2002 by the league’s presidents with a goal of expanding their partnership to all aspects of university life outside of intercollegiate athletics. Among the programs that have been established are an undergraduate research conference, coordination of study abroad programs and granting visiting academic status to student-athletes traveling to an away contest so that they have access to libraries, academic resource centers and computer labs. Commissioner Thomas E. Yeager has guided the CAA since its inception. The conference traces its roots back to 1983 when three of its current members- George Mason University, James Madison University, and the College of William and Mary - were aligned with East Carolina University, the United States Naval Academy and the University of Richmond as a basketball league (ECAC South). During the next two years, the league added 11 sports, acquired two new members (the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and American University) and decided to form a new association. The transformation from ECAC South to CAA took place on June 6, 1985. Charter members George Mason, James Madison, UNC Wilmington and William and Mary were joined by Old Dominion University in 1991 and by Virginia Commonwealth University in 1995. The conference added the University of Delaware, Drexel University, Hofstra University and Towson University in 2001. Georgia State University and Northeastern University became members of the conference on July 1, 2005.

RAY DOWNEY FUND

he Hofstra University wrestling program is proud to honor the memory of an American hero FDNY Deputy Chief Ray Downey with the Ray Downey Memorial Scholarship. Chief Downey, who served as Chief of Special Operations Command, lost his life heroically during the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Ray Downey was appointed to the FDNY on April 7, 1962. In August 2001, he was placed in charge of all SOC (Special Operations Command) operations - Rescue, Squad, Haz Mat and Marine - and promoted to Deputy Chief. Chief Downey’s phenomenal 39-year career with the FDNY was built upon success after success and rescue after rescue. One of the most - if not the most decorated men in the Department, Chief Downey received five individual medals for valor and 16 unit citations. A devoted family man who lived in Deer Park, New York, with his wife, Rosalie; father of five married children, Joseph, Marie, Chuck, Ray Jr. and Kathy; and adored grandfather of nine, Chief Downey was an avid fan of the sport of wrestling and supporter of the Hofstra wrestling program, where his sons Joe and Ray Jr. were outstanding athletes. Chief Downey loved wrestling, and he always attended their matches. He continued to support the Hofstra wrestling program long after his sons graduated.

After his passing, the Downey family, longtime supporters of Hofstra University and the Pride wrestling program, created a scholarship fund to honor Chief Downey’s memory. Funds contributed are used to endow scholarships in Chief Downey’s name and will provide financial assistance to the Hofstra University wrestling program. Chief Downey’s sons, Joseph, Chuck and Ray Jr., were successful athletes at Deer Park High School, and earned bachelor’s degrees from respected universities through athletic scholarship opportunities. Recipients of these funds will demonstrate the integrity, work ethic, discipline and courage that Deputy Chief Raymond Downey exemplified throughout his life. The 2012 recipient of the Ray Downey Scholarship Award was senior Ben Clymer from Germansville, PA.
